Question 23099 — professions and social activities

Summary

Mr. Erwan Balanant alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the recruitment difficulties encountered by personal service and home help structures. In 2016, nearly 760,000 elderly people losing their independence benefited from the services of a home help and support service. By 2050, France will have nearly five million people aged over 85. In a context where demands support services for the elderly are more and more numerous, 45% of structures declare that they encounter difficulties in recruiting staff and are therefore unable to honor their commitments with dependent people. Several associations of home help professionals (ADMR, UNA Bretagne) have denounced a crisis situation: the sector suffers from a lack of attractiveness linked in particular to arduousness working conditions, low pay and precariousness of care workers. Employees, paid on average 9.2 euros net per hour, generally carry out this activity part-time. Another dissuasive factor is the possession of a vehicle, essential to the exercise of the profession, while the mileage allowance is little or nothing covered. To overcome these structural difficulties, the Government is committed to carry out an action to modernize home help and support services. Work has already been carried out to renovate the method of financing these services, in particular by deploying a support envelope of 100 million euros included in the PLFSS for the years 2019 and 2020. Given the demographic challenge and the real shortage of home support professionals, he would like to know the measures that the Government intends to adopt to develop training and improve the visibility of these professions so that the sector can recruit in greater numbers.
